Reddit because I posted about how Q was a LARP and was banned.

Haha that is hilarious. You think that'd be the one place where you could say that. Every subreddit is such an echo-chamber, it's a problem. We hope to develop a cross-posting system for saidit someday, where one post and one comment section can be shared by multiple subs at once, and hopefully that'd mitigate the echo-chamber nature of things a bit.

That both went over my head and sounds really really awesome - I stopped programming when I couldn't get C++ pointers to work.

I run from pointers, haven't seen one in 10 years.

Meanwhile, I love pointers :P . How else is one supposed to, for example, share an array between threads?

Not that they aren't complicated…

For sure, all would be lost without them. I ride on the back of pointers, blissfully unaware of them in muh high level languages.

Wotz pointers?

It's a mechanism in low level languages like c or c++ that let's you refer to memory addresses/locations directly. If you mess it up your app or whole system crashes.
